“Soft” – Mike Dean reacts to controversially penalty awarded against Arsenal

If Arsenal still had hopes of winning this season’s Premier League title, they were surely extinguished on Saturday as they drew at Everton in the lunchtime kick-off. Mikel Arteta’s side had gone ahead at Goodison Park courtesy of Leandro Trossard’s opener, but that was cancelled out after half time when Iliman Ndiaye netted from the penalty spot.

The game was another example of Arsenal’s desperate need for a new striker, but there was also major frustrations with the penalty that Everton were awarded.
